    true true, but that was not exactly the question right? wasn't it "does it make dumber developers"? which you could read as "does it allow dumber people to become developers?". :)

      Did you learn something interesting, cool, unusual, etc. over the weekend? If so, what is it? Cheers, Josh

        At the end of a 19 hour shift (that tops off 58 hours out of the past 92) working in a pub that includes receiving kegs, passing empties out overhead and putting full ones away in cellar coolroom leaves you completely stuffed.

        Not to mention the double whammy from the wife. :) Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] When no one was looking, every single American woman between the ages of 18 and 32 went out and got a tatoo just above their rumpus. [link[^]]

                I think we can all agree that Gary did not shove his beliefs down anyone's throat. Would you agree? What he said was on-topic, and in reply to a question. I'd like to say, John, that while I understand where you're coming from (you want people to get along, for one), I'd much rather speak my mind and offend a few than stifle what's inside of me in order to attain the impossible goal of pleasing everyone.

                I wouldn't say he shoved it down anyone's throat no. Do I think it's appropriate in the CodeProject Lounge? Absolutely not. There's a soapbox intended for any divisive kind of discussion and that's where it (and religious themed taglines) belong. Many message boards devoted to topics of general interest have strict rules about this kind of thing, CodeProject does not so I accept I'm going to have to see these kinds of posts and taglines, but don't expect everyone to be happy with it. I think it's entirely inappropriate, were trying to foster a good community here where people can get along and discuss things without feeling like it's a hostile and divisive environment. When a person with strong religious beliefs parades them entirely out of context they surely understand they are being provocative to every other person here who doesn't share those beliefs. It's a conscious decision to make that provocation and to complain about the reaction to a provocation deliberately made is a little immature but entirely reveals the true provocative spirit in which it was posted in the first place.

                  Yep. Don't try assembling bookcases when you have a migraine. :doh: On the plus side, we did catch a little of Bournemouth Music Festival in town on Saturday afternoon (though by then I knew I was in trouble). :) At least Sunday was grotty outside, so I didn't miss much!

                      i learned that, even though i love running in the rain, if i don't keep my runs under 30 minutes, my shoes and feet will get too wet, and i'll get blisters. or, shorter version: don't run 6 miles in the rain Cleek | Image Toolkits | Thumbnail maker

                      Try better quality socks. The high-tech wicking fabrics like CoolMax are great. I did a 5-miler last week in the rain, and no blisters.

                        I like the kind of rum in plastic cups passed to you by gorgeous Welsh women as you step off of a long-boat to a river bank full of people cheering the winning Irish team after a long three hours of sailing and rowing. :) I am not much of a rum drinker usually and have no clue what type they gave us. It was dark rum, that is all I know. regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you

                              Sounds like you need the outfit one of our locals wears at the annual Turkey Trot (an 8K on Thanksgiving morning that includes a costume contest). He runs in a wet suit and flippers :omg:.

                              My running partner for my first marathon had that problem, even though it didn't rain that day. After starting out at 55°F, it was close to 85°F when we finished. The last 3-4 miles his shoes were squishing at each step from the sweat.

                                          Did you learn something interesting, cool, unusual, etc. over the weekend? If so, what is it? Cheers, Josh

                                          I didn't learn anything, but my cats did. They figured out how to open the cabinet door, climb up to the third shelf and knock down the box of cat food. So now I have to put a child safety lock on my cabinet. Freaks.
